Chapter 41
Our feet pound the dirt in perfect unison, each of us in sync with each other. Danae is next to me, having to take two steps for each, and Ray is on my other side. I can't even see Xavier beyond Ray's form, but I can feel his presence. His enchanting scent always tends to make its way to my nose. It's so strong that it almost makes me lose my step, invoking grief and regret through my blood. I can feel his anger, his frustration hammering at my defenses.
I shake him off, focusing on the scene before us. An endless expanse of trees is before me, making me wonder when it will end and I will finally have a clear view of the thundering sky. We move much slower than usual, as Danae and I drag the two werewolves down. I can tell this speed is bothering Ray, a frown adorning his features. He looks both scared and angry, fear in his expression.
For some reason, I can't bring myself to possess that same emotion. For how am I supposed to be afraid of

We are now in the second line and my stomach is starting to get butterflies. How do I order my food? Is there some sort of special protocol for something like this? The cash register is a rather cute teenager, who looks incredibly bored and tired. Everyone behind him in the kitchen is acting the same way. I don't want to look like a fool in front of them.I tilt my head toward Danae and whisper, "You go first. I want to see how to order."She glances at me, then lets out a small laugh. "Okay, Mona," she nods, then gently steps in front of me. Xavier and Ray both give me an inquisitive look, but I ignore them, focusing on my teacher as she approaches the cash register.We gave her heels before she left, but even now she can barely reach the counter. The boy has to look down on her and is soon surprised by her beautiful adult face. His eyes widen slightly, then quickly readjust."What do you want?" he

"Once we get our food, we must eat it quickly," Xavier warns, careful not to make eye contact with me, "we cannot wait for the council to find us.""How would they know where to look?" I ask in amazement."All the council members tend to have an excellent sense of smell," Ray says, "if they get an item that has our aroma on it, then they can track us like a pack of bloodhounds. Of course, they can't do that if we're several miles away.""Oh," my eyes widen, "but they'll probably be able to find something! Especially if they take the mansion...my scent has to be on everything I've touched!"Ray looks at me, then examines our surroundings. "It's not safe here," he turns back to us, whispering softly, "we need to find another place to finish our conversation."Xavier follows suit, examining the area. "But where can we go that is completely private?" he expresses his concern.

"Mona.""Mona."A hand shakes my shoulder, waking me with a start. My eyes open, and once again the Light enters my world. "Who is it?" I ask groggily, my face probably reflecting the confusion I feel.When everything solidifies, the first thing I notice is azure hair that is thin and long, each strand glistening like a rainbow. Then a chiseled and incredibly beautiful face appears, followed by green eyes."You need to stand up a little and walk," the man orders, letting go of my shoulder. I sit down wearily, looking at the scene beyond Xavier's head. Once again I am in Xavier's arms, the heat and attraction consuming me almost immediately. The car is gone and we are situated just outside a large building with many windows."W-what? I stammer as he gently places me on the ground. He starts walking and I follow him."We needed to find a place to stay for the n

My bed is soft, but not as warm as I would like.I shiver under the thick covers, tossing and turning furiously. I struggle to get warm, but only the cold embraces me. The desire for a certain man is growing at an alarming rate, as I know that one touch from him would instantly heat up my body with passion.But at the same time, I am afraid of him. A strange sadness and fear runs through my mind as I recall once again his confession, his passionate plea for forgiveness that choked my heart. I tried to rectify our misunderstanding, but he refused to listen. I could tell he was stressed, his eyes full of pain and desolation. He was almost desperate for me, as if I were his bread and water. Just remembering that one look at his sculptural features shamefully brings a small shiver of happiness to my heart.But what is he really desperate for? Is it just so that our union is accomplished, or because he loves me for who I am?

"Have you seen our newly developed bullets? He gestures to the sky as a bunch of shots fly through the air. "These are specially modified to have the ability to pierce the hardest of skins. It's a good thing you've avoided them so far... if one of them had hit you, it would have hurt.Suddenly, the man notices me in his arms. "Is this the convert? She's pretty. Xavier's grip tightens around my form, holding me even closer to his warm chest. "How about convincing your boyfriend to back off before someone gets hurt?" he asks me, a hint of disdain in his seductive voice."Maybe that would be a good idea, Xavier," I whisper in his ear, fear clearly painted on my features, "they seem to know what they're doing.""I'm not going to abandon you." At these words, butterflies flutter in my stomach and a blush makes its way down my cheek.The man sighs dramatically. "Get them out, Demon."A

"The headquarters," he said softly, "and it's what you would call a portal. The council has a ton of them scattered around the world, hidden in places called sanctuaries. They can take you anywhere you want to go. This is very useful for werewolves trying to escape some kind of persecution."How can they take you anywhere you want to go when there's only one passage?" I don't see any other tunnels leading to this one, which doesn't mean much since I can hardly see anything."All you have to do is think about where you want to go while you travel through the tunnel and you will come out of the portal at that destination.""You talk too much, Soka," a dangerously deep voice interrupts our conversations, "you shouldn't tell the prisoner all this." I turn around and can barely make out the outline of his face."What does it matter, Zayn? She's not going to last very long at Headquarters. Who cares if I tell her some of our secrets?""We don't. She might get lucky. Ferrars seems to like th

Even as her warm, strangely familiar fingers dance across my skin, I feel no discomfort. Relaxed breaths brush against my neck, somehow sweeping away any anxiety. I feel a foreign desire to stay here forever in this enchanting embrace.Am I going crazy?Fighting the strong urge to close my eyes again, I abruptly sit up. Suddenly losing my balance, I slide off the bed, tumbling to the floor. With a loud crash, I hit my head on the cold stone floor, a slight wave of pain sweeping through my bones.There is silence for a few seconds, then a voice. "Mona?" For some reason, the word sends shivers down my spine with its irresistibility. The light by the bed comes on as my fingertips grasp it, filling the room with brightness. A head appears on the side of the bed and I almost go into a self-cataclysmic shock.It's as if I fall under a deep spell, mesmerized by the striking beauty of her features. Her hair

"Please, Mona, wake up. I'm sorry I upset you. A hand strokes my long red hair. "Please wake up," he pleads, his voice cutting through my empty thoughts. As my eyes open, a single message enters my mind.Scotty is a man. A very, very, very handsome man.For some reason, I can't make sense of this statement."I must be dreaming," I whisper in a shaky voice, "you can't be Scotty. You can't."But I am," he whispers back, grabbing my fingers and holding them tight. "Here, my name is Griffin, but you can call me whatever you want."His hand moves toward me and I flinch a little as he touches the mark near my hip. The strange thing about this is that it feels completely natural to me. For him to be here. For us to be like this."I missed you so much, Mona," he smiles, a beautiful expression that leaves me spellbound, "it took every ounce of my strength not to toppl
